Thjere's no reason there can't be an unlimited number of routes / waypoints / Geocaches. If you have removeable storage, there's no reason to have a physical limit. If it's something in the OS, or a processor limit thing, time to look at fixing those issues.

Kind of like the map segment limit on the Vista I've got. 2025? wtf. There's no reason there can't be more per map database. Besides, the unit only loads the segment it needs when it needs it, and doesn't (to my knowledge) pre-load segments, so it shouldn't be an issue unless it was a software thing.

I'm guessing that the limit is that the units can't write to the removable storage without being hooked up to the USB cable. I don't know about the new units (Oregons and such), but any older units (I hate to call a 76 or 60 an "older unit") doesn't write to the card.

I'm guessing the limitation isn't software - it's hardware, more specifically that the batteries onboard don't supply the necessary voltages required to write to the card._________________Hmm...

There is that, but at the same time, There's always enhancements to sreens and we'll see more sensitive antennas, and there's other functionality to be gained in the future. I just don't see a need for some artificial limit ot how much data a unit can hold or store.

Think about your PC for a second - Would you be happy if you could only have a 60Gb hard drive, and a limit of how many files you could store? Or that your PC doesn't have enough power to access that data in a read/write capacity? I have the same view about my handheld electronics.

It's not an artificial limit though... Memory is a limited commodity, same as hard drive space. The more you pay, the more you get.

I personally don't see the need for more than 2000 waypoints. Geocaches aren't something you can load once and then search - they're always changing, getting disabled, moved, etc._________________Hmm...
